lady in black

It's a special night, although the coldness and the wild wind are like other winter's nights. The lady sits in front of fire, gazing at it. The wind tries to smothers the fire, but she doesn’t attempt to prevent, there's no difference to her because she can't feel anything since her love's gone. Something strange attracts her attention! Yes, again she sees the lord in the fire but this time a little bit different. He is fighting with an unknown enemies, the fog surrounds him which doesn’t let her see his face clearly. He yells while turning around with the sword" WHERE ARE YOU MY LADY? I NEED YOU HERE!" shouting his name and asking where he is, she tries to get near to the fire. "HERE IS A SEVERE BATTLE, I NEED YOUR SUPPORT BUT DO NOT COME IF YOU ARE NOT REDAY!!!" he says.

Suddenly a strong wind blows and shuts the fire down. She stands up, looks around herself and thinks about which way should be chosen in order to get to her lord. The wind moves her hair to a direction, as someone pulls them. When she turns to that way,she sees a light flashing at the end of the forest between those tall trees. She starts to run unintentionally for miles, following that light. A village seems to be near but she is doubtful whether it is real or a mirage.She runs all that night.At this time her foot sticks to something which makes her felling down. She looks behind to recognize what it is, she sees a dead body with an arrow in his back and a sword next to him. It seems he's escaping from somewhere whom has been attacked. She is afraid, tries to stand up. Feeling wet makes her think she has fallen in a puddle because the black dress doesn't show her the color but the red liquid on her hands represents nothing except blood. The sword, blood and the dead body are sings of fight therefore she realizes she is getting near to battle field.

The dawn is breaking, the scent of her lord is stronger than anytime before and leads her to a way where is completely in fog. Absence of trees tells her that the forest is finished here. She gets slowly near and near, puts her steps in a new place where she has never been before, a battle field!!!! Nothing is heard except battle cry and sound of swords striking each other and nothing is seen except splashing blood in the air. A man in the same height and body of the knight is fighting very professional by his sword. The sword is not only a defensive object for him, but also is a part of his hand that is moved easily as it weights like a feather. She moves her head and tries to heighten her height by standing on her toes in order to reach her sight to see him clearly but she's unsuccessful. With an incidence of a sword and yelling of a man the death silence fills every where.

She walks hesitantly forward. Every step she takes the sound of walking on the blood, bones and armors is heard. The shadow of a man makes her more curious to go further. The man who is full armored hasn't seen her because he starts to walk on his way and she follows him. He gets to a stone which is like a chair, sits on it while keeping a sword in his hand. The scent of death is everywhere and the sound of ravens, flapping above bodies to have their meal is heard. His shallow breath shows he is not tired as he's got used to these kinds of battles. He has sat on the stone, one of his hands is on his knee, the other one is on the sword and tip of bloody sword touches the ground. The helmet is shining on his head like a crown. His feet are steady on the ground as they have never separated from it or never kneeled down! Yes, he looks completely like a king.

He moves his head up and sees a young lady in black dress that looks worry. "MY LADY, ARE YOU HERE?" he shouts. Now she becomes sure that he is her lord, so runs toward him and kneels down in front of his feet. She wants to put her head up to see him clearly but a strange powerful force pushes it down. That force is his glory! He puts his hand on her shoulders, stands her up, hugs her, kisses her and asks " WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE MY LOVE?!"

"I'VE BEEN MISSING YOU MY LORD, IT IS SO LONG THAT YOU'VE LEFT ME ALONE, YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO COME HERE" she replies.

 The lady looks down to conceal her tears and the lord looks up to do so! " I'VE BEEN MISSING YOU TOO MY LADY, BUT AS YOU SEE I'M IN A VERY HARD MISSION, I'VE TO FIGHT WITH MANY ENEMIES IN WHICH I NEED YOUR SUPPORT" he cries. She doesn't scare anymore because she has seen more dangerous and experienced more severe things in his absence.

"WHAT CAN I DO MY LORD TO HELP AND STAY WITH YOU?" she asks. "AT FIRST YOU SHOULD LEARN NOT TO SCARE, SECOND LEARN TO KEEP A SWORD IN YOR HAND, THIRD NEVER AFRAID OF ACHE AND THE LAST ATTACK ANY ONE WHO WANTS TO HURT YOU AND YOUR LIFE. IN ALL OF THEM YOU SHOULD BE COURAGEOUS MOREOVER THE MOS IMPORTANT THING IS YOR WILL TO CONTINUE. IF YOU'RE STIIL DOUBTFUL, I SUGGEST YOU NOT TO ENTER AND RETURN TO THAT VILLAGE. FROM NOW ON YOU MUST NOT SHIVER ANYMORE" he warns her.

But this is the lady who has made her decision and has passed that way to get to the knight. "I'M READY FOR EVERYTHING MY LORD, IF I WASN'T I WOULDN'T HAVE PASSED THIS LONG JOURNEY AMONG THAT FRIGHTENING FOREST TO FIND YOU,TRUST ME PLEASE" she says. The way she talks ensures the lord that she's been changed by facing with difficult situations which she had when she was alone in that forest. He decides to trust again.

He teaches her how to keep a sword in her hand and how to defend. This shows that her mission hasn't been finished. She has learned that each door she passes through is not an ending but can be an opening to another door which leads her to a new world.
